Pushing toward a 100% capacity limit by June 1st, about half of Nevada casino workers have now received the Coronavirus vaccine. However, many of the larger resorts are reporting that up to 70% of their employees have been inoculated.

The Nevada Gaming Control Board, along with requirements from Clark County, says that casinos will be allowed to go to 100% capacity when at least 60% of state residents have received the first dose of the COVID vaccine. Right now, that number stands at just 39%.

“We are focused on reaching 60% so we can open to 100%…” said Virginia Valentine, the President of the Nevada Resort Association, adding that resorts are giving their employees the flexibility to get vaccinated and are rewarding those who do.
